Choice & Education Across the States - by Michael Van Winkle - The Heartland Institute

Choice & Education Across the States ranks state efforts to increase accountability and improve student achievement with four kinds of school choice: vouchers, charters, tax credits, and public school choice. With 23 being the highest possible score on the evaluation, the median score was just five points. However, many states are experimenting with choice as a way to provide a quality public education. A few states, like Arizona and Florida—scoring 15 and 14, respectively (grades of A in the curved grading system)—are innovating at an impressive pace, willing to try new and better ways to educate children.

I am proud to say that I have voted to support these "new and better ways" to educate children by supporting sound pro-voucher and scholarship legislation while in office!
